"Beyond the Sea" was first the famous French song “La Mer by Charles Trenet 1945. "Beyond The Sea" is the English-language version of the French song "La Mer" by Charles Trenet, popularized by Bobby Darin in 1959. While the French original was an ode to the sea, Jack Lawrence - who composed the English lyrics - turned it into a love song.
"Beyond the Sea" has been recorded by many artists, but Bobby Darin's version released in late 1959 is the best known, reaching No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 15 on the US R&B Chart, No. 7 in Canada (co-charted with "That's The Way Love Is"), and No. 8 in the UK Singles Chart in early 1960.
Before Bobby Darin's version, two instrumental recordings reached the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. Benny Goodman's version charted in 1948, and was featured in the Cary Grant/Betsy Drake romantic comedy Every Girl Should Be Married. Roger Williams' recording reached No. 37 in 1955.
The first recording of "Beyond the Sea" was by Harry James and His Orchestra on December 22, 1947, and the first recording of "La Mer" was by French jazz musician Roland Gerbeau in December 1945.
American R&B singer George Benson recorded an R&B version of the song under the title "Beyond The Sea (La Mer)." It was released on Warner Bros. This version entered the UK Singles Chart on 20 April 1985. It peaked at No. 60 and remained on the chart for three weeks. Robbie Williams recorded the song for the film Finding Nemo.

Wow that's beautiful! Love the video. The only (constructive) critique I have is the backing track. It's a straight rock rhythm, while you're trying to play a swing groove.

Thanks for that Sandra! I really appreciate your feedback.

Hi Sandra! Scott's playing was definitely straight. I want to compliment Scott for playing the song straight, even though we may be used to hearing it swing.

@@MarkPeotter thanks Mark for reopening the discussion, I have some problems picking the beats from the libraries, garage band has a "swing" knob I'm going to try that next time.

A fearful chill hit me when I read "6000 feet drop"! What could be lurking there waiting to eat me up?!
